NIN simply appeals to a wider audience. the reasons don't particularly matter.

That and the fact that they have, you know, like 10 times as many fans. There's that thing.

Muse hinted at playing a festival in 2014 in California in a interview. There are technically zero rumors about NIN playing, just a big gap and their tour and a promise to come back to the US at some point.

Man, you guys like arguing about shit that's not going to happen quite a bit.

They have around 10-15 singles alone that charted well according to wiki sources. They could just play a history of singles like Soundgarden did at Lolla, or Dre/Snoopat Coachella and be well received. Guest appearances are probable as well, Sleepy Brown possibly making an appearance.

If we are going by years since a last album, it has been a long 13 years since Stankonia, 10 since Speakerboxx/The Love Below, and 7 since the less well received Idlewild. (5.7 million US for Boxx vs. 1 million sales US for Idle) Either way, they reached a level of popularity in the mid 90's to early 2000s that few hip hop groups could match or exceed.

This is probably one of the better points. They were also billed 4th, above Phoenix at Lolla this year, but below the Killers, Cure and Mumford. Don't ask me why the Killers still command that high a spot. We won't even talk about Mumford. I can see NIN billed with Muse, as the two audiences are somewhat intertwined, but playing an 11-something to 1AM set doesn't seem likely for a band as big as Nine Inch Nails. They aren't a cheap band and have a much larger US following than Blur and the Stone Roses, so starting them near midnight would be a bit of a waste for GV. I'd not oppose it though, as it would be pretty cool to see a late night NIN set.

Re: 2014 Rumors/Confirmations/Whatever/Etc.

If NIN and Muse co-headline, Muse should sub for NIN, just like they did for RATM at LA Rising. That was lineup/scheduling perfection by GV right there.

Muse sold 4 times as many tickets in the LA market compared to NIN in 2013.

... but how would you rate NIN vs. RATM or Muse vs. RATM? need record sales, box office reports, your educated projection on how RATM fares with current audiences, if this is relevant to a potential Muse-NIN co-headliner spot at Coachella and other information and statistics you deem necessary to carry on this conversation for another three or four more pages. I mean, we do have page counts to answer to.

^likes hearing Hey Ya on the radio, thinks he knows what the fuck is up without OutKast.

Try having some knowledge on the bs you choose to open your ignorant pie hole about, before you open said hole.
or be ignorant. Ur guud at it

If the argument is "they have one hit but the rest of their catalogue is awesome" than nobody should be bitching about the Stone Roses or Blur headlining. For that matter, for next year, noone should complain if the headliners turned out to be Faith No More, Gary Numan, and The Cars (well, they had more than one hit, but really only one or two that people remember).

Off the top of our drunken heads:

"Just What I Needed"

"My Best Friend's Girl"

"Let's Go"

"it's All I Can Do"

"Touch and Go"

"Shake It Up"

"Since You're Gone"

"You Might Think"

"Drive"

"Magic"

"Why Can't I Have You"

"Hello Again"

"Tonight She Comes"

"You Are The Girl"
